Allan & Lis - LOL, thanks - can't give away any of my secrets, though!   ;) ;D

Toast with Sardine and Tomato whilst listening to Andre Previn, RPO doing RVW's 5th and watching the SEAT Euro cup on Sky Sports at the same time.
A nice Sunday afternoon. 8)

A strawberry-banana smoothie.  Yum!

Congratulations to you and your wife, Dave!  Many more to come!

BTW have you read Richard Preston's Hot Zone? 360 pages.  It was on the NY Times Best Seller List.  After all the books you recommended to me, I'm happy to recommend two to you.  The other is Pulitzer prize winner Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague.  It has over 700 pages.  Perhaps you have already read them.

I am surprised to discover that people are eating prizewinning and bestselling novels.  The only book I ever ate was "Woodland Tales" which cost me 35p in 1973.  I ate the front cover a year later, but I can't remember why. :-\

Hello Anne - hard to believe but we've been together for 40 yrs (i.e. first met in Ann Arbor in '68)!  I've not read the books mentioned - thanks!  Not sure that I could make it through the 700+ page book, so many other things I need to read!  My fall lectures to the residents are coming up, so need to 'bone up' on the material - getting to the point that I feel retirement would be a good option to enjoy all of these books!  BTW - the book on E. coli that I posted not to long ago is fascinating (and SHORT!) - Dave  :D

I don't like them short but I will definitely read it.  Thanks for letting me know about it.

My husband and I were married in Dec. '68.  He passed away 2 1/2 years ago.  Heart attack.

The 700+-page Coming Plague book is easily read in segments.  It concerns newly discovered diseases; each one makes a chapter.  I don't know if Laurie Garrett works for the CDC but she sounds like she does.

Yummy.  Crunch, crunch.  Total mental health food.  Mmmmm....crunch crunch... ;D

I woke up and realized I prolly drank one or six too many last night.  So I peek in the fridge and I thank myself for having leftover chicken parts in the fridge.  I threw it all in a pot made some stock and now I'm munching on some congee with shredded chicken, some liver and fried garlic.  A little squeeze of lime and I can't imagine anything else being so great to eat right now.

The ones I am eating are actually the double chocolate chunk.
With a cup of Bi Luo Chun green tea.
The play of the dark tones of nuts and chocolate of the cookies with the herbaceous and sweetly floral notes of the tea is -- like a symphony of pleasure on the tongue!

Quite possibly the best tasting fruit (if you pick the right ones) $:)

I'm headed here tonight:  Michelle's.  Old-school stuff.  I love this kind of dining experience but a little of it goes a long way for me so I end up in places like this only once a year.

Wow, does that look great...I haven't seen a Grand Marnier souffle in a long time, and those seafood dishes sound especially delicious (e.g., the Halibut en Croûte).   :D

Allan - agree w/ Bruce, my wife & I would probably visit that place more than once a year!  ;D

The seafood would be my main attraction, the plainer the better - while on a Maine vacation years ago, I had 'roasted lobster' several times, a wonderful alternative - enjoy yourself!  Dave

The girlfriend who has worked really late today and is about to come home in a few minutes wants me to cook. Since I pretty much the only thing I can cook is spaghetti, I have decided to cook spaghetti. I just looked in the fridge and with what I have seen there, I will create a "Greek" sauce with minced beef, tomatoes, red onions, garlic and herbs, and feta (hmmm...).
